Fur-seals often play among the rocks. These dark brown seals feed at sea but return to land to rest and breed. In summer, each of the large males establishes a territory with a number of females.

These next birds were all captured at Raptor Domain

Raptor Domain on Kangaroo Island displays raptors in 'In-Flight', offering a unique and entertaining experience while creating an understanding and appreciation for their role in the environment. The show is fantastic for all age groups and nationalities. The only 'In-Flight' Birds of Prey display in South Australia, it is thought by many to be the most interactive Birds of Prey display in Australia.
